OUR TEAM BELIEVES AND APPLY SUSTAINABLE FARMING PRINCIPLES TO GROW THE VINES WITH RESPECT FOR NATURE. THE DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE SOIL, LOCAL CLIMATE, LEADS WINEMAKERS TO PERFORM THE BEST OF WHAT OUR LAND HAS TO OFFER. 20 HECTARES CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION ARE TRAINED ON WIRE TRELLISING, AND THE WINE-GROWING TECHNIQUE REMAINS TRADITIONAL.

OUR WINEGROWING PRACTICES ARE IN FULL RESPECT TO NATURE AND ITS PRINCIPLES:

ORGANIC FERTILIZERS, SUCH AS HOME-MADE COMPOST, BORDEAUX MIXTURE "BOUILLIE BORDELAISE" AND SULFURS ARE USED FOR THE TREATMENT OF THE WINES.

AS NO WEED KILLER AND INSECTICIDE ARE TOLERATED, WE USE ONLY OLD, TRADITIONAL METHODS

WHERE THE LAND, WATER AND AIR HARMONIOUSLY INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER TO SUPPORT LIFE OF THE VINES

MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES

HVE3 IMPLIES ESSENTIAL PRACTICE IN THE VINEYARD – GRASS COVER CROP, WHICH ENABLES TO:

• NATURALLY PROTECT THE SOIL FROM RUNOFF DURING THE HEAVY RAINFALLS.

• AERATE THE SOIL THANKS TO THE DEEP ROOTS OF THE GRASS.

• BETTER DISTRIBUTE WATER AND LONGER STORE THE WATER AT THE SOIL'S DEEPEST LAYERS TO PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY OVER THE SEASON.

• TO USE FOR COMPOST AS A MAJOR NUTRIENT IN ORDER TO BOOST THE HEALTH OF WINES.

• CLIMATE-FRIENDLY SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS
